Dry Needling
Dry needling is a highly effective physiotherapy technique used to release muscle tension, reduce pain, and improve mobility. By targeting tight knots or “trigger points” in the muscles, dry needling provides fast relief from conditions such as back pain, neck pain, headaches, sports injuries, and chronic muscle stiffness.

Seeking a Professional Dry Needling Physiotherapist
At RAS Mobile Physiotherapy, we offer professional dry needling as part of our treatment programs to help patients manage pain and accelerate recovery. This technique uses fine, sterile needles inserted into muscle trigger points to release tension, reduce inflammation, and restore normal movement patterns.
Dry needling is safe, evidence-based, and effective for treating musculoskeletal pain, sports injuries, and postural issues. Unlike traditional acupuncture, which is rooted in Chinese medicine, dry needling is based on Western medicine principles and focuses on muscle dysfunction.
Our mobile physiotherapy service means you can access dry needling treatments in the comfort of your home, workplace, or care facility. We tailor the therapy to your needs, combining it with exercise, manual therapy, and rehabilitation for long-term results.
